Analyse This retrograde script. Old and busted ideas dressed up in fine leather and CGI.
A super goddess is living the life of 50’s housewife, when on a fluke her amnesiac ex shows up. This distresses her because she was pretty happy in bondage. After the ex forces himself upon her, even after her protests, he keeps hitting on her, this time with frying pans. Since being close to her leaves him vulnerable, he finally takes it upon himself and leaves the couple alone.
In addition to a stupid plot, this contains boatloads of product placement and was directed by Peter “Battleship” Berg, a low rent Michael Bay. Cameras spinning around for no reason even when Charlize Theron is trying to act. What an asshole.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
